Day 3




Today we took the ferry from Anacortes to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. We drove around the island and viewed various beaches. We went to Lime Kiln where there is a lighthouse. We got out the transport chair to go down to see the ocean. It was a dirt path with lots of rocks. We sat there and watched the water for awhile. Everyone was looking for orcas. After awhile we ventured back up --which was no easy task. When we got to the top the park ranger told us we needed to go back down as the whales had been spotted. She showed us an easier way down. I took Patty down and ran back up to get the camera. Then they started coming. We were all excited to see them. We made it back up with a little help. People are so nice and always offering to help with the transport chair.

We spent the night in our canvas cabin. We built a fire and roasted hotdogs for chili dogs and marshmallows. It rained all night, but we were cozy and warm in our tent.
